A Lighting Project Created to Ease Children's Fears Before Entering Into Surgery

Jason Bruges Studio has created a lighting project to help ease children’s fears before they enter into surgery. At the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London children are encouraged to play with the lighting. Researchers have found that the interactive LED wall panels help to create a calming yet engaging space for patients before their arrival to the anaesthetic room. The LED light panels cover the corridor walls via two main elements; integrated LED panels and bespoke graphic wallpaper.

“The LED panels are embedded into the wall surface at various heights in order to be accessible to the eye levels and positions of patients travelling along the corridors. Across these digital surfaces abstracted ‘animal movements’ are recreated as interactive animated patterns of light which reveal themselves through the trees & foliage of the forest. The artwork consists of 70 LED panels, with a total of 72,000 LED’s.” (Jason Bridges Studio)
